Nice trolling, greylord, 6/10.

Ooh, announcements of announcements, I can hardly wait.

Let's see, counterarguments to Fahrenheit: AI gandma, simon says, aliens, the flashback gameplay and last, but not the least, the ending. Before you say they didn't have enough time to finish it, AI grandma and aliens were always going to be in the story... As for Heavy Rain, see the plot holes section for some fun reading material. Also, Cage still couldn't keep all his craziness to himself with Jayden's futuristic crap(he did show remarkable restraint, I'll give you that). Not to mention some of the bad voice acting(JAAASOOOON and the prostitute come to mind) and the tank controls. To actually improve the "genre", you would need to have some actual writers and editors make the story and keep Quantic Dream as far away from it as possible.

So there isn't?

That's the Twinkie experience, you feel good when eating it, but an hour later you'll have a stomach ache. AKA good presentation, bad story or the MGS syndrome. Compared to Fahrenheit, breaking your leg is a fun experience.

As much as the industries try to emulate each other, they are fundamentally incompatible as it stands now. Which is why you don't make a WoW movie, but a fantasy epic based on Warcraft lore.

I, for one, think that we need more minigame collections bundled with plotholes, err stories.

Where could they have gotten that crazy viewpoint?

That depends on which direction it will go. There's plenty of decent Warcraft lore, no?

Ok, so it was wacky and endearing, stop picking on nostalgic people.

Oh boo hoo, maybe you just don't like the genre.

Things like awesomeness, hilarity and fun?

Eh, it might end up like DX's multiplayer. A tragedy like that must not occur. Course it might not, but the idea is still sucky. Wasn't DX's MP patched in at a very late state and then developed by the community?

I don't see why anyone would care. No one's forcing you to play the hypothetical multi-player part.

Yup, hopefully D3 will blow away SC2's sales and end up being the biggest PC-only release in a long long time.

I haven't played that much of AA, but could you explain this, because I am confuse.

Titan has been confirmed by Blizzard which pretty much validates this.

That seems pretty random, I guess it could be an iOS game. Nice to see that Diablo III is getting the big boys treatment with expansion packs.

There's some speculation that Phoenix is a SC1 remake, but the naming doesn't really make sense in that case. Maybe a spin-off DoW2 style game? WoW movie has been in the news for a while now, it's live-action, by the way. WoW wiki has some sourced info, if you really want to know.

How many would play a bad game today ? *looks around* Unintentional irony?

So instead of cluttering up the Random News thread, we can discuss all things related to Blizzard's 2010-2015 product slate:

Whatever. It's done when it's done.

Desperados(1) is the Commandos formula refined to a shiny diamond. You have useful, diverse abilities, fun characters, varied missions and a really nice challenging campaign. Afterlight feels like they finally managed to get everything right, but then remembered that they actually had to add the gameplay combat part as well and it ended up being bolted on at best.

I guess there's nothing left to ruin then... Telltale is getting the most random licenses. In unrelated indie news, Achron the functional time travel RTS is still coming along nicely.

Animated series?
